Thanks. We are aware that there is an issue with some Intel HD (Integrated graphics chips) graphics due to a bug in drivers from Intel. It is our understanding, from testing various users have done, that updating your drivers to the very latest release from Intel corrects this issue.

The other alternative you can try is to turn off Hardware Acceleration in the Settings panel in Rainmeter.

Let us know if either or both of these suggestions solves the problem for you.

After updating the graphics drivers, the skin is now working perfectly.
